it is oddly difficult to take a picture of your own feet! That said, I like my socks!

I used the heel from Widdershins at Knitty.com, but sub'd a short row toe. These are two at a time toe-ups. I used a tiny check pattern 3/4 k/p (3 stitches by 4 rows, alternating k&p) for the main pattern stitch. I also installed a bit of 1/1 ribbing on the instep to help hug the sock to the arch of the foot, preventing droopage. (is droopage a word?) :D

Love it! I have so many projects I want to start (I see that you're following some of my Pinterest boards now, so you can see that I have a lot that I want to do... lol) and finishing a pair of socks is one of them!

Nicely done! Your socks are beautiful. They look to be a perfect fit. The colors are just perfect. I much prefer this style of heel over short row heels, they're more comfortable and hold up better under the stress of wear. This is a little different from how I've been doing them, I think I might have to give these a go. Of course droopage is a word, silly. We call socks with ribbing round the arch girdle socks. I've made them that way but have found that if the foot fits right I don't get droopage.

You didn't forget this, I'm just hoping it's possible. Could you please post a picture of the back of the heel? I'd love to see it. I'll post a photo of the heels on a pair I recently finished for comparison. They were still a WIP at the time. I like this heel though it seems I'm on a never ending quest for the perfect heel turn.

actually, that looks quite close to how my heels turned. I will attempt to take some heel photos for you asap...
